Winners Announcement

Do drop by with your family and friends!

Competition Overview

Do you have that one captivating image that depicts the influence science has on our everyday lives?

Images are a powerful medium for communicating and understanding science. The human brain is capable of processing images 60,000 times faster than text so visuals are extremely helpful in improving comprehension and retention of information.

We are looking for images that communicate how science influences our lives and spread awareness and understanding of science and technology. It can be a microscope image, graph, diagram, or photograph of science improving our lives.

If you have an image that fits our theme ‘Science and Me’, submit it to us along with a short write-up and stand a chance to win cash vouchers as well as having your work exhibited at the National Museum of Singapore and at Fusionopolis in one-north!

Register now and celebrate the beauty in science with Agency for Science, Technology and Research (A*STAR), by taking part in our inaugural Beautiful Science Competition.
